Analysis of The snake
Thomas Severt 2007 (KY)
Hearing voices in my head
Saying it wishes i was dead
It comes in the form of a snake
If i don't listen it makes head ache
It is black with red eyes
He said everything that don't listen eventually dies
It stares at me with those eyes so red
Last few years I have done everything it has said
He makes me cry
Often times he tells me to die
Tells me no one gives a care
He says no one is ever there
I see him in my dreams
He is the only one i can talk to or so it seems
